WEEK ONE: MINGLE

[retellers]

WEEK ONE: MINGLE (40 remain) Rise and shine, gremlins. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and it's the start of a new week. To the participants, yesterday's events may seem distant now—albeit not as distant as their life before this. Whether or not they notice, they will have lost a memory upon waking up. The barrier to the north is down, and beyond the bridge lies new areas to explore. Strangely, what was there last week seems to have been replaced overnight. That's not the only thing that's different, either. The participants will find that their lodgings have changed. Finally, should anyone check their PHS, Hajime, Pikachu, and Virid's profiles have been removed. Three Leaders can be found around the area, open (?) to approach. If participants want to speak to them more privately, or to an absent Leader, it looks like they'll have to go through another channel. Furthermore, it looks as though the rules have updated. Finally, this week, the participants will find themselves drawn to one person in particular. Whoever that is, they will find themselves compelled to be close to them physically. The longer they attempt to resist this, the more compelled they will be... and the closer they will want to be, to the point that it might be emotionally and physically draining to not be holding hands or hugging them for several hours because you've ignored them too long. That's fun.

[too late, rufus; jeanne has answered him so he directs his answer at her, though he's also giving him a glance over]

That requires a bit of long-term effort, I'm afraid...

[rufus are you being mean??]

[soulus]

There's nothing to teach.

[She's stepped back, which means the problem's been solved.]

[discernments]

[ Rufus is rude. That's just how he is. ]

I think he could go through some effort.

[antaressnipe]

Ah. In that case --

[training begins now]

Getting to know someone is a good place to start. Have you two exchanged names yet?

[soulus]

We've already met.

[discernments]

I've been trying to get to know him, but he says it's not necessary.

[ She smiles a little. She isn't offended. ]

I don't want to force him, but...

[ The Realm has different ideas? ]

[antaressnipe]

Yes, I understand.

[Trust him, he does. And so he addresses Rufus real quick]

While I know this is probably not... ideal in your eyes, separation will make the effect worse, you realize?

[soulus]

[He frowns.]

I didn't say anything about separation.

[discernments]

[ Jeanne smiles, almost amused. ]

Do you see what I mean about being disagreeable?

[antaressnipe]

... So you wish to remain by her side, but in silence?

[Just locking eyes with Jeanne. Wow she... hm.

Such luck she has]

[soulus]

We have an agreement.

[He does not explain what that agreement is.]

As long as time isn't being wasted, it doesn't matter to me how close she is.

[discernments]

[ She meets Chiron's look. Haha, yeah, she knows.

She... knows. But it's fine. It could be worse? ]

I did not mean to be so close!
